Senator Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent and 2016 Democratic primary runner-up whose populist policy agenda has helped push the party to the left, announced on Tuesday that he was running for president again, embarking on a bid that will test whether he can retain the anti-establishment appeal he enjoyed with many liberal voters three years ago.
A self-styled democratic socialist whose calls for “Medicare for all,” a $15 minimum wage and tuition-free public colleges have become pillars of the party’s left wing, Mr. Sanders is among the best-known politicians to join an already crowded Democratic field and one of the most outspoken against President Trump, whom he has repeatedly called a “pathological liar” and a “racist.”
“Three years ago, during our 2016 campaign, when we brought forth our progressive agenda we were told that our ideas were ‘radical’ and ‘extreme,’” Mr. Sanders said on Tuesday in an early-morning email to supporters, citing those health, economic and education policies as well as combating climate change and raising taxes on wealthy Americans.
“Well, three years have come and gone. And, as result of millions of Americans standing up and fighting back, all of these policies and more are now supported by a majority of Americans,” he said.

Oh good!!! President Trump will make him look like the old senile fool he is!
Well Bernie, a good suggestion would be for you to give up YOUR wealth and walk the walk. Instead you choose to be a hypocrite while espousing for the poor. You are a loon and moon bat of the first degree; sane and informed voters will not follow you.
For some reason I thought Joe Biden had thrown in his hat.Guess I'm wrong.
Democrats are moaning over this, looking to lose lots of young people's votes.
We don't need Bernie, Joe, or Hillary they are all the same fools of the worst magnitude. Bernie and Hillary have lost to Trump before their fate is sealed and we all know Joe doesn't stand a chance.
